Fortune really does favour The Wise. Yours truly has been delving the murky world of message boards for weeks now trying get solid news on whether or not Reaper would be back for a second season. Well, today I hear the news that it will return for series 2 via none other than my favourite Bad Dad, Ray Wise.

Filming of Reaper Season 2 is, in fact, well under way as Mr. Wise is currently in the middle of episode 9. The series will debut on American TV in January or March 2009, though no word as of yet as to when we Brits will get a snaffle of it. Still, exciting news for me as I am stuck without a series, except for Desperate Housewives which has rather promptly returned, jarringly set 5 years after the last and better written series. But, this is just a filler until the mighty Reaper comes back to me for I have taken rather a shine to it. Disappointed though I was at first, I think this show has a real charm...and it's never a shame about Ray.
